This sacred space offers two large movement studios with daily classes, weekend workshops and performances, smaller rooms for groups and private sessions, and a complete boutique.

The Studio Maui is ideally situated on the north shore of the gorgeous tropical island of Maui in the Haiku Marketplace, an historic, refurbished pineapple cannery that has recently become a thriving upcountry community and business center. The Marketplace features excellent restaurants, a country-style vegetarian cafe, and provides many essential services including post office, pharmacy, medical center, grocery store, video store, and day spa. The Studio Maui is 5 minutes from world-renowned surf and windsurf spot, Ho'okipa Beach, and 10 minutes from Baldwin Beach Park - a beautiful local beach favored for walking and swimming. We are 10 minutes from the quaint North Shore towns of Paia and Makawao which offer fine dining , health food stores, and a wonderful selection of Hawaiian-style boutiques and art stores. The mystical 'Road to Hana' is at our back door.

Other island activities and adventures such as surfing, snorkeling, whale watching, swimming with dolphins, sea kayaking, hiking, helicopter tours, mountain biking, waterfall jumping, and trips to Haleakala crater are close by. The Studio Maui is an ideal centerpoint from which to build a healthy, natural, local-style vacation or retreat. The Studio website provides links to local travel and accommodation information, enabling individuals, families and large groups to create the perfect Hawaiian retreat vacation tailored to suit their needs and individual budget.

OUR OFFERING With the steady growth in Maui’s population and the increase in visitors looking for a more organic and health-oriented visit, there is a need for the kind of quality services The Studio Maui provides. Increasingly people are turning to yoga, dance and other movement forms for celebration, healing, rejuvenation, relaxation and vibrant health. By offering public classes, workshops, trainings, and performances the Studio supports the development of local students and artists, and provides a first class facility for visiting practitioners and movement instructors. Maui is blessed with an abundance of world class dance, yoga, and movement instructors which is inspiring locals and attracting more health-oriented visitors. The island offers strong healing energy and The Studio Maui is part of that offering. By providing consistent high quality movement education across a broad range of movement disciplines, The Studio Maui encourages health, wholeness and creative expression and stimulates a broader appreciation of the movement arts as vital languages in our culture.

OUR FOUNDER and DIRECTOR The force behind The Studio Maui is New Zealand native Geordie Jahner, Ph.D who began studying dance at the age of 5. In the 1980's Geordie helped put 'Limbs' (New Zealand's foremost modern dance company) on the world map. Her number one dream was to build a world-class facility that would provide consistent high quality movement and arts education for novices, serious students and professionals alike. "My vision was for The Studio to be a community gathering place, a beautiful space where people could tend body and soul", says Geordie. The Studio Maui is the realization of this dream. "We are extremely grateful to the many people in our community who came together to help bring this dream to fruition." adds Jahner. She has taught dance and other movement forms for more than 30 years, and knows well how movement can contribute to an overall sense of health and well-being.

"The Studio Maui offers many options for staying fit creatively and stimulating creative expression",” says Jahner. "Remember how much we loved to dance, play, jump, spin and just move when we were a child? Moving and breathing deeply feels so good. The Studio Maui offers a place to reclaim that joy".”
